I don't think that channels should ever auto-close.

 * wjt doesn't think the CM should close text channels without the UI telling
it to
smcv: wjt: apropos of?
wjt: (apropos of musings about edge cases like: you try to join a room, you're
kicked before the channel finishes being dispatched. currently, the handler
can't figure out what happened, partly because Group doesn't have "why was i
kicked?" properties, and partly because the CM closes the channel when you're
kicked.)
smcv: wjt: RESOLVED LATER tbh
wjt: the spec doesn't say it needs to auto-close :)
smcv: in practice, everything does, => UIs probably assume it
smcv: so it would be a semantic change to the spec even if the current
semantics are largely unwritten
smcv: I would not be opposed to "any channel from which you can be kicked MUST
be a group", which is a prerequisite
smcv: (because to not auto-close, it would have to have an "I'm not here"
state, which is "SelfHandle not in Members")
 * wjt copies into bugzilla and goes back to work :)
